Juan Rulfo (1917-1986) was a Mexican writer, screenwriter and photographer. One of Latin America's most esteemed authors, Rulfo's reputation rests on two books, the novel Pedro Paramo (1955) and El Llano en Llamas (1953) a collection of short stories.
Rulfo's reputation rests on two slim books, the novel Pedro Paramo (1955) and El Llano En Llamas (1953), a collection of sort stories. Fifteen of these stories have been translated into English as The Burning Plains and Other Stories. This collection includes the admired tale "¡Diles que no me maten!" (Tell them not to kill me!).

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Winner, Fred Whitehead Award for the Best Design of a Trade Book from Texas Institute of Letters Western Books Exhibition Selection, Rounce & Coffin Club, 2003Deserted villages of rural Mexico, where images and memories of the past linger like unquiet ghosts, haunted the imaginations of two artists--writer Juan Rulfo and photographer Josephine Sacabo. In one such village of the mind, Comala, Rulfo set his classic novel Pedro Paramo, a dream-like tale that intertwines a man's quest to find his lost father and reclaim his patrimony with the father's obsessive love for a woman who will not be possessed--Susana San Juan. Recognizing that Rulfo was describing a world I already knew and feeling a very personal response, particularly to Susana San Juan and her dilemma, Josephine Sacabo used Rulfo's novel as the starting point for a series of evocative photographs she calls The Unreachable World of Susana San Juan: Homage to Juan Rulfo.This volume brings together Rulfo's novel and Sacabo's photographs to offer a dual artistic vision of the same unforgettable story. Margaret Sayers Peden's superb translation renders the novel as poetic and mysterious in English as it is in Spanish. Josephine Sacabo's photographs tell, in her words, the story of a woman forced to take refuge in madness as a means of protecting her inner world from the ravages of the forces around her: a cruel and tyrannical patriarchy, a church that offers no redemption, the senseless violence of revolution, death itself.
